Greetings Church Family and Friends
Most of you living in Rockland and the area, will have already heard from Hydro One about the power shut down
happening on Sunday 19 August 2018. The time affected is 5 am until 11 am.
Because of this, St Andrew's Christian Church Board has decided to CANCEL church services on that day.
This is due to safety issues. No lights, no coffee time, and no fans on a hot summers day.
Everything will resume to normal on the following week.
We hope that you will take this opportunity to either worship at another church in the out lying area or spend time
safely with family or friends.

17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

A friend and colleague asked a question about forgiving himself. His question came at a moment when I was thinking through the same issue. Responding to him helped me to find, for him, some thoughts that I needed to hear, and perhaps you will find these thoughts helpful:

I was performing a wedding recently, and I realized that many of the guests had a second reason for being there. Of course they were there to celebrate, encourage and support the young couple in their marriage, but they were also there to be renewed in their own relationships. You could see couples holding hands and glancing at each other with that “Remember when?” look.
